Amazing private tour to The Forbidden City! - We have an amazing experience on the walking tour with Justin, he was great and very patient, even though we needed to stand up on a long super crowed line at the security check point at the Forbidden City, he manage to make the tour a great experience, also he was super kind to support us on a missing item that we left at one of the Didi cars that driven us to the last location. In general, our experience was awesome, The Forbidden City is just incredible and magnificent. We highly recommend this private tour, and we highly recommend that you ask for Justin as your guide!

Good tour and great value! - My parents, my husband and I did this tour with Joyce and she was great! She was knowledgeable and was able to personalize the tour to our needs. The company and Joyce are HONEST and extremely easy to work with. The day we went, we weren't able to do the rickshaw ride and they gave us some money back which is amazing for any tour group. Thank you Catherine Lu Tours!

Well paced, great day - Thank you Joyce for a wonderful day. As a return visitor to Beijing, with a first time visitor as my companion, I was pleased to be able to customize the day. You catered for all our needs - even finding us a hot pot place for lunch in Hutong. I was very impressed with the quality of the car and driver also. I would recommend a custom tour (and Joyce) to new comers to Beijing and anyone who has been before and wants a different type of experience. Joyce’s knowledge of the Forbidden City was fabulous.

Great visit to the Forbidden City - We booked a day tour with Catherine Lu Tours - what a great experience! First, the team was very professional and flexible with our booking as our plans and dates were changing. We were really impressed with the kindness of the service. On the tour itself, we got to visit the Forbidden city and surrounding area with Eran - a terrific guide and a wonderful person (Thanks again Eran!). He was very knowledgeable, passionate and very fun to be with. We would recommend to use Catherine Lu's services anytime! Have a great visit!
